The Honor 8X seems to have inherited everything good from its predecessors: an attractive high-tech-inspired design, a snappy display, convincing performance and battery life, all for less than €300 or €250, depending on the version chosen. .
From the outside it looks quite attractive: a very large 6.5-inch screen with a notch, a vertically positioned dual camera module in the upper left corner of the plastic back that imitates glass very well and an excellent finish…. At this price, it doesn't get more stylish than this.

Fingerprint sensor
It feels good in the hand, although the fingerprint sensor on the back is better for larger hands. On the left side are the usual unlock and volume buttons. On the other side is a slot that can hold two nano-SIM cards and one microSD card at the same time.
On the bottom edge there is a speaker grill, a power socket, a microphone and a micro-USB port…. To get such good value for money? I'm not so sure, since other manufacturers have introduced Type-C in their smartphones for less than €300, like Xiaomi with the Mi A2. However, the Honor 8X has preferred to keep the slot, something that does not happen with all phones.
The IPS panel has a Full HD+ (2340 x 1080) resolution, which is more than enough to enjoy browsing and multimedia on a 6.5-inch screen. The screen isn't the brightest and doesn't have the highest contrast on the market, but it still performs relatively well.
The Honor 8X features Huawei's Kirin 710 microprocessor. This feature, combined with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, has been integrated into some models such as the Mate 20 Lite. In daily use, the device performs very well and does not give rise to any lag or overheating issues.
In mobile games that are tuned to smartphone performance, like the Asphalt series or PUBG, the graphics are not pushed to the limit, but the result is a good compromise between performance and screen quality. The benchmark test results are also reassuring: for a €250 smartphone, performance is very good.
Google's Android Oreo 8.1 operating system is accompanied by EMUI 8.2, the user interface found on all Honor and Huawei smartphones. EMUI offers many useful little options that complement the Android system. As we have already said, you can calibrate the screen, activate or deactivate the application box, choose to navigate using gestures or virtual buttons, replace the permanent indentation or for selected applications by a black bar, and much more. There's facial recognition too, so the 8X phone can be unlocked relatively quickly.
The dual camera module has a first 20-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 lens and a second 2-megapixel sensor that offers a depth-of-field effect, ideal for portraits. When the conditions are right and the scene receives a lot of sunlight, the photos turn out very well, especially outdoors.
The quality of the photos is good, and surprising for a smartphone of this type, especially for the amount of detail it has. The colors are not as bright as we would like, but they are close to natural reproduction.
Artificial intelligence
If you activate the AI, you can bring a little more life to the images, sometimes maybe too much: it is always like that with the AI: it has a strong tendency to oversaturate.
The portrait function is very interesting, as it brightens the person photographed and creates an attractive effect of depth. Indoors, when there is natural light, the software softens the intensity of it to prevent too much noise from entering the images. In return, this results in less detail and less smooth rendering.
The front camera offers enough detail in photos, but unfortunately it suffers from overexposure indoors. There's also a portrait mode, but it doesn't offer the same satisfaction as the dual mode on the rear: cropping doesn't hesitate to eat a chunk of ear, for example, and the depth effect is very shallow.
